Since you seem to have studied the RGI so much I would have thought that you might understand that a Successful team can not have more than 3-4 non-gritty players. If a team has more than 4 non-gritty players they will not be successful.
Having 2-3 guys that are incredibly gritty does not make up for having 5 soft players.
If there is a series that messes with the RGI it is the Montreal series where Montreal had 6 soft players .... Tampa however had 9 players in that series with a low RGI.
The value of the RGI identifies that a team like the Flames will not be successful with Baertschi, Hudler, Cammalleri, Granlund, Billings and Gaudreau.
